This page contains a large quantity of synthesis (inferring anti-Christian sentiment on the basis of a line in Kill Bill spoken in the context of Japanese martial arts is a level of hyper-sensitivity I don't think I've yet seen. Saying that a movie is anti-Christian because someone uses the phrase "abs like Jesus"? A source would be nice...).
There's already an existing article on Anti-Christian sentiment, and I'm not sure this is adding anything that's new or well-sourced.
The sourcing that's good has mostly been copied and pasted from Anti-Christian sentiment and bolstered with some really ropey sources like TVTropes (a wiki) and Search Engine Roundtable (basically a blog post) etc.
If there is something specifically to be discussed about anti-Christian sentiment in the West, surely there's some actual good sources on the topic? Academic, neutral, well-considered sources that deal with the topic seriously rather than a hodgepodge of news sources. —Tom Morris (talk) 20:51, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge whatever good content there is to Anti-Christian sentiment. Unnecessary content fork. StAnselm (talk) 22:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Not enough material here to sustain a separate article; most of it doesn't actually belong, whether "debated" or "potential" opinions of anti-Christianity, trivial pop culture references simply assumed by the writer to be anti-Christian, or advocacy of secularism/failure to privilege Christianity over other religions as some politically active Christians feel it deserves. In other circumstances, I might suggest a very very selective merge to anti-Christian sentiment, but the sourcing is so extremely poor that it isn't worth it.

- Keep and improve -- Anti-Christian sentiment is a worldwide article and mostly deals with serious persecution in the regions where theree is an interface between Christianity and other dominant religions, particularly Islam. The article is certainly a poor one, but that can be remedied. It present it is too Catholic-centred, at least in the lead. Some pruning of irrelevant material may also be appropriate.

- Delete per the decision in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anti-Christian sentiment in the United Kingdom (2009), which suffered from inherent synthesising and hyper-sensitivity. What's next, Class warfare against the rich in the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) listing every occasion someone wanted to preserve Medicare?

- Delete - There's plenty of room to expand the regular Anti-Christian Sentiment article, and the claims here are hilarious. Google is not responsible for the content of their search results. The Kill Bill reference is uncited and is a reference to a specific koan. There is virtually nothing in this article worth saving. eldamorie (talk) 13:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete At first, I thought the article could be saved, and then I started going down the page. The article is beyond saving, and is just an unnecessary content fork at this point. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:18, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete/Merge. Don't need yet another article on this topic to keep up with with redundant information. Student7 (talk) 19:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, nothing here worth keeping or merging. Maybe if the article was retitled Christian paranoia in the West ... --MelanieN (talk) 19:28, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
